Niffenegger’s Novel Goes to Scribner for $5 Million

Bestselling author Audrey Niffenegger sold a new novel, Her Fearful Symmetry, for nearly $5 million to Scribner, for publication in October. The auction for the manuscript was “fiercely contested,” according to the NY Times, and a notably generous deal in such uncertain economic times. The UK edition will come out from Jonathan Cape.

What they say

“Locus‘s reviews are an instrumental tool for my staff because they allow us to intelligently recommend books to readers before we’ve had a chance to read them ourselves. Despite the many resources on-line that exist, Locus is a one-stop shop for all our critical industry information with a proven track record of accuracy and quality reviewing.” — Alan Beatts, Borderlands Bookstore
